150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive.

150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive. 70 percent to 100 percent of everything we are fighting over right now will be totally forgotten. Underline the word, TOTALLY.

If we go back memory lane to 150 years before us, that will be 1873, none of those that carried the world on their heads then are alive today. Almost all of us reading this will find it difficult to picture anybody's face of that era.

Pause for a while and imagine how some of them betrayed their relatives and sold them as slaves for a piece of mirror. Some killed family members just for a piece of land or tubers of yam or cowries or for a pinch of salt. Where is the yam, cowries, mirror, or salt that they were using to brag❓ It may sound funny to us now, but that is how silly we humans are sometimes, especially when it comes to power or trying to be relevant.

I remember those days in my secondary school, how some people fought and did so many unimaginable things just to have their names shortlisted among those to be made school Prefects. Ordinary school Prefects ! It is just about 16 years since I left secondary school, nobody in that school right now remembers that I even schooled there despite my popularity then. Now, imagine what happens after 150 years?

Even when you claim the internet age will preserve your memory, take Michael Jackson as an example. Michael Jackson died in 2009, that was just 14 years ago. Imagine the influence Michael Jackson had all over the world when he was alive. Gosh, he was like a god. How many young people of today remember him with awe, that is if they even know him? In 150 years to come, his name, when mentioned, will not ring any bell to a lot of people. This is even because he was popular, imagine the majority of people who will never be known worldwide like him?

Let us take life easy, nobody will get out of this world alive. . . The land you are fighting and ready to kill for, somebody left that land, the person is dead, rotten, and forgotten. That will also be your fate. In 150 years to come, none of the vehicles or phones we are using today to brag will be relevant., take life easy!

Let love lead. Be genuinely happy for each other. No malice, no backbiting. No jealousy. No comparison. It is not a competition. At the end of the day, we all have the same destiny in the grave. It is just a question of who gets there first, but surely we will all go there.


150 years back story 1868,

our story After a handful of German immigrants founded the town of Frankenmuth, they forged an alliance that would eventually become Frankenmuth Insurance – now one of the industry’s most sound and secure carriers.

But you see, things were different back then. Much different. When disaster struck, people couldn’t just call their insurance agent to file a claim. Instead, they relied on their community in a wonderfully unique way.

Pledging to support their neighbors when they needed it most, each member of this mutual alliance listed all the things they wanted to insure. And when a member had a loss, the others contributed to cover the cost – knowing they would be supported in the same way.

Within 10 years, the Deutschen Frankenmuther Unterstützungs-Verein (German Frankenmuth Aid Association) had nearly 500 members, and it was insuring property worth about a half-million dollars.

What else was happening in the world? To help celebrate our 150th anniversary, we’re sharing fun facts from 1868 – the year Frankenmuth Insurance was founded
